Crime crackdown has residents feeling safer

JIADING District is one of the safest areas in Shanghai as its public security index reached 85.76 in 2012, a front-runner among all 18 districts in the city.

The index covers all aspects of life including work, traffic, entertainment, social activities and inhabitancy.

Last year, Jiading police joined hands with townships and sub-districts to push forward the construction of a public security system by setting up monitors on streets, intelligent door systems in communities and joint enforcement teams in rural areas.

They seized 15,668 vehicles for the disabled and refitted tricycles that had been illegally used as taxis and detained 465 owners. These illegal "taxis" had been rampant in some areas in Jiading, a threat to public traffic safety.

The police also broke a gang that had swindled more than 18 million yuan (US$2.9 million) from "investors," after contacted by a local resident.

The resident surnamed Wang gave the police a pile of materials, saying that he had been cheated by an "overseas" gold exchange center.

After investigation, the police cracked down on the gang who set up a fake gold exchange company overseas, rented an overseas server, set up a trading platform and then preyed on those who lacked knowledge about gold trading.
